When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles. Making a Gauge Swatch STITCH EXPLANATION: Cl (4 double crochet cluster) Yarn over, insert hook in indicated st, yarn over and draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook (2 loops rem on hook), (yarn over, insert hook in same st, yarn over and draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook) 3 times (5 loops rem on hook) yarn over, draw through all loops on hook. sc2tog (sc 2 sts together) (Insert hook in next st and draw up a loop) twice, yarn over and draw through all 3 loops on hook - 1 st decreased. sc2tog-over-3 (sc 2 sts together worked over 3 sts) Insert hook in next st and draw up a loop, sk next st, insert hook in next st and draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through all 3 loops on hook - 2 sts decreased. SPECIAL TECHNIQUE Adjustable Ring Wrap yarn around index finger. Insert hook into ring on finger, yarn over and draw up a loop. Carefully slip ring from finger and work the stitches of Rnd 1 (in pattern, below) into the ring. When Rnd 1 is complete, gently but firmly, pull tail to tighten center of ring. NOTES: 1. Blanket is made from 24 Squares sewed together following the Assembly Diagram. 2. Embroidery on Squares 4, 5, 6, and 7 is worked freehand. Follow our suggestions for color and design or embroider whatever you like! If desired, cut shapes from paper, pin paper shape to crocheted square, then embroider around the outside edge of shape. When embroidery is complete, remove pins and paper. 3. To change color, work last st of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new color and draw through all loops on hook to complete the st. Fasten off old color. Proceed with new color. COLORS FOR B YARN Red (C) Pink (D)
